Jaysus. First we get the review of the best movie about Iraq (I still believe the best supporting actor award goes to Colin 'Tthe Incredibles' Powell), then this???? Why is it always about America??? Sorry, laddie, but the problem ain't the movie, it is about America. I mean, if it ain't about America, it just ain't. You give us "American Idol", the world gives you you 9/11 (and the very very very very obstentatious "ground zero" b.s. -- go to somewhere outside mallsville, I'll show you 'ground zero'). Nope. The problem with this film is that it ain't about America. And you know what?? Bollywood is looking better and better every day.
... or anything else on Salon, either. And you definitely haven't seen this movie, which was not produced by Bollywood (it merely borrowed a Bollywood director) and was carefully calibrated to appeal to a perceived upper-middle North American demographic.
